Flower animation and Alice's murder

When Shunji Iwai wrote the script of Love in Flowers, he intentionally animated it. He called it making an animated version and talked to Ghibli's manager, toshio suzuki, but Suzuki denied it at the time. In the 2D era, animation requires high preparatory work such as directing and painting, so Iwai can't make movies until ten years later when digital technology is more mature. Shunji Iwai met Tomihiko Ishii, a producer of other projects. It is said that Ishii read Suzuki's Ai Hua when he was in Ghibli ten years ago. In the earliest script, Iwai set Hua and Alice as primary school students. He called the realistic version of Ai Huawei "the end of friendship" and the animated version "the beginning of friendship". The original version of the script was written when Noboru Shinoda, the photographer of the film Flowers and Alice, died in 2004. The prototype of the sick old man named Watanabe in the work is Mr. Shinoda. Using the recording method (プレスコ) commonly used in animation, the craft film is made, that is, the voice performance with excellent voice is recorded first, and the original painting is made with the mouth shape with excellent voice later. The animation adopts the film conversion technology which is widely known for the animation "Evil China". Behind-the-scenes tidbits Although the film was promoted as the first feature-length animated film in Shunji Iwai, in 20 14, he shot three animated short films for the recruitment magazine "TOWNWORK" and released them through the Internet. Shunji Iwai arranged the original work, screenwriter, soundtrack and director of the animated version of Flowers and Alice. Besides Iwai himself, singer Kotone Shiina and composer Sangyuan were also invited to join the soundtrack. Iwai wrote lyrics for the theme song "Pond Fish". Co-authored a novel of the same name with Otsuichi, a writer with a deep personal relationship, which was officially published on February 4, 20 15. In addition, there is a cartoon version created by cartoonist Dao Manmi according to the original work. The main actors in the live-action version were invited to voice the characters in the movie. Most of them reinterpreted their original roles, and only in the animated version of Tomohiro Kaku (who played Masahiro Miyamoto in the last movie) did they become the voice of Chaochang's teacher. As well as Ryo Katsuji, Hana Kuroki and Ranran Suzuki. Anne Suzuki and Yuu Aoi haven't performed together for 1 1 year since Flowers and Alice. The two frankly said that after ten years, it is a bit shameless to reinterpret high school girls at the age of "aunt", but I hope to make a sequel. After completing the dubbing work, Yuu Aoi said that although the voice may have become thicker in the past ten years, he still worked hard and was deeply grateful to have experienced two youthful times; Another heroine, Anne Suzuki, said that she was a little worried about whether their voices could restore the feelings of high school students, but she was still happy to participate in Flowers and Alice again.
